GNO

We had one last GNO for Jenn! Jane hosted a super fun Scrabble night with dinner & treats. I Love Scrabble & Love these girls so we pretty much had a fabulous night.

We love you Jenn...

Farethee well my sweet friends...

I have been trying to get as much "Jenn Time" in as Possible these last few weeks. If you didn't know this already my Best Friend and her Family are moving to HAWAII in 2 days!

I am so sad, but so excited for them to experience a new place for there little family. Not only is this my BFF but our Whole families Best Friends! It has been so hard, because Jenn and I and our families do everything together.  Our Vacations, Dates, Trips, School parties, etc. We have been like this since our oldest kids were 2 yrs old

 (now 9)!  

She is such a big part of my life.

I know that summer will be the hardest with out her, b/c we bike, blade, swim, & play, play, play
Who else can talk me into taking tons of kids to Lagoon on the hottest day of the year?! haha


We had a Farewell Party with a ton of friends and family at Trafalga fun center and it was so fun!

I love these guys to pieces and we will miss their guts...

I love Dusty's expression in this picture right above Geoff.

Best Buddy Rangers...
Chase used to call Boston, Bopin! LOL. We still laugh so hard to this day.

Best friends in the making...  

~The only Positive thing about them moving to Hawaii is we will be visiting as much as Possible!

Farewell parties...

Jenn & I wanted to take Crew and Hayes & Olivia somewhere for their own little play date before our Best Buddies moved away.

We took the little ones to Kangaroo Zoo while the big kids were in School and it was so fun to just let these crazy monkeys run free, with barely anyone else there. They had a Blast climbing, Sliding and acting Goofy.
Oh and only got into one little Brawl. Hee hee..

Chase & Caden had their last day of School "Luau" Party with their Classes.

It was so cute, Jenn had all these Hawaiian Plates and Cupcakes with Pizza's and Hawaiian music playing in the Background. It was so sad to see Chase try so hard to hold back his tears. He is such a sweet tender hearted kid when it comes to his friends.

We will miss you little cuties...

Charlee's Baptism

My sweet and adorable niece Charlee was baptized on Saturday. It was such a nice day for Charlee and she looked so beautiful and so HAPPY.  Her Dad came out to Baptize her & did a wonderful Job.   My Sister Rachel came out for the week and we all played & had so much fun!  Cousins were everywhere and sleeping at all different houses.  I just love how crazy these kids get when they are all together.  

We ate out alot, made Youtube Videos, Shopped,  Chuck E Cheese, went Tubing, Skiing/Snowboarding, Guitar Hero, went to the Movies,  ate Lots of cookies and just enjoyed staying up late talking!

Charlee's Cake Compliments of Stacia 

After the luncheon at my house we were just hanging out...

Dang there are a whole lot of girls in my family! My sister Darla just left with her 3 girls.

My brothers have all Boys!! haha  Too funny huh?

We had to have Tepanyaki for dinner that night.  We were such a big party they gave us the whole back room!  It was so Yummy and Tyler is always the life of the Party, so their table was loud and crazy! 

Oh tyler!!!  hahahaha

Tubing in Park City...

We went up to Soldier Hollow thinking since we took the kids out of School it would be Perfect to go tubing while no one was there... 

 it was closed! 

 My sister Rachel and her kids and My Best friend Jenn and her kids all were together and decided to go to Park City's tubing hill and it was a Blast!!  I was so shocked that Hayes and Olivia actually LOVED Tubing!   They had Crew and Brody there  so they couldn't act afraid.  Towards the end of the Day my  twins were going by themselves it was AWESOME!   

Ivy and I even tried to go down together but that was not happening, they sent a Snowmobile up to get us.  Oops!  

The Big kids were of course, CRAZY and doing things that they weren't supposed to do, but that is why it was so much fun!  

Jenn, taking all the little ones up on their first few runs...

{Thank you, Thank you, Thank you}

Survival Swimming...

Is an absolute MUST!


We have been on a waiting list for a year to swim with this Teacher. She is fabulous and is definitely worth the wait! Her name is Pam Young and she teaches all kids and mostly babies to learn how to find their safe place in the Water. My twins were actually swimming pretty good by the end of Summer, but i just wanted them to feel more confident in the water. Olivia is my nervous child and is doing better but not as good as Hayes. Pam even said, he could be on the swim team! haha Hayes has such good form and loves to hold his breath for a very long time. He jumps off the Diving board everyday and just loves his swimming time. He can swim the whole Length of the pool, she has taught him to lay on his back to catch his breath and he is AMAZING !


Olivia is very different, sometimes is crying when Pam pushes her beyond her comfort level. It is so good for the little kids and she wants us to have Ivy swimming at 9 mo. Ugh.... I don't know yet!
It is a 3 week course and we have 1 week left. If any of you want her info, just leave me a comment.

Hayes

Basketball

This is the end of our Basketball Season and Boston has loved this game! He now wants to play Basketball for College instead of Football. He is a fabulous little player, great on Defense and kind of a Ball hog. haha
He plays daily and LOVES his games. He just comes out when it comes to being aggressive in a game he feels comfortable in.
All his friends from school played on his team and it was so fun to go and watch these kids!
WAY TO GO CELTICS... oh yah, they were not the "Boston Celtics", but "Boston's Celtics" haha

Coach Cody

Cade, ? ,Chase, Boston, Brogan, Calvin, Drew

After his game one saturday they had this "Fun Shot" down at the Provo High School for all the kids 3rd grade and up. They had to shoot from certain spots on the court and do layup's for points. If they scored high enough they could move on. (except 3rd grade) He did awesome in the Practice round with "17" and then scored an "11" in the Final round. It was on a 10 ft. rim too. He had a blast with his buddies and it was good practice!
